mense amount Of work has been going

prosperous agricultural districts of the
State, affording the best Of grazing
for cattle and other domestic animals.
The force of rs men that have been
engaged for the past two months in
planting trees and ditching the town,
have almost completed their labors,
and by the day of sale, next Thursday,
the 10th day of February, 1887, they
will have completed fourteen miles of
bitches and have planted over 1000
shade trees. In the past few weeks a
large number Of people have located
in Crowley, while many others have
signified their intention to locate in
the new town.
Mr.. w w. Duson, the general man
ager of local excursions for Crowley
on the day of sale, has made arrange
ments with the Louisiana Western

put in corn this season than the last,

Gov. McEnery. of Louisiana, has

GEE. j. L. BRENT, president of the

Brent says:
"The Farmers Convention was in
tended 10 mite the Agricultural inter
ests Of the State in an organized effort

est; ] had confidently expected that
the intelligent press Of the State would
have given as their powerful aid and
support, but the most malignant en-
envy Of this important movement could
not desire o more fatal assault upon it
than to ngjnstly charge it with being
. political sham and q continuance TO
advance what as called a ring com
bination.
II therefore, Mr. Editor, as the
official representative Of the Louisiana

error into which you have fallen and
declare my sincere belief to be that
Ihe Farmers Convention was what it
10 bean honest effort to
bring prosperity to this State through |

In accordance with q resolution of
the Police Jury making it the duty of
the editor Of this paper, as President
Of the Police Jury, TO examine and
receive the work done on the bridge
over the marsh at Black Bayou, some
70 miles south of Lake Charles, We
proceeded last Tuesday TO perform
that duty by a thorough inspection Of
the work. This work was performed
under the supervision of that efficient
road oyerseer, Mr.. FRANCOIS Ledoux,
to whom great credit is due, as the
work is substantial in every respect,
and the bridge, so far as he had INN
Der at his disposal to finish it up, is q
durable structure, and already the iray-
cling public is congratuIating them
selves on having SO pushing aud
thorougb-goiRg road oyerseer-
The small appropriation made by
the Police Jury to assist in building
this bridge was commendable on their
part, as this bridge is one OF impor-
tance aud has been long needed, and
this is the first time, we believe, in the
history of the parish, that this section
ever received any assistance from the
parlsh treasury 10 the way Of public
improvements
The mex, thing in order for the ad-
vancement Of that vicinity is the
establishing of good school. We
found everybody busy. Stock is doing
well and in fine order, and as a whole
everybody and everything is in -four
ishing condition.

mention the fact that the ever affable
